More for the record since that image itself isn't really good nor a major news, but since the 56th Air Brigade based at...

God those Russian engines were ugly. Looks so much nicer with these new WS-20s.

Constellation has arround 75% of deplacement of the Burke for a third(32) of the VLS. Big like a Type 052D destroyer but with half the...

You don't need to glaze to say a design is more ambitious than Constellation Constellation started off as FREMM so it can be built...

A FFG design that's really bad at being FFG while also really bad at being a DDG isn't something I would describe as ambitious. 054B is...

Constellation wasn't supposed to be ambitious, and was supposed to be based on the proven FREMM design. But somehow only 15% of the...

Retaining two VLS variants with similar functionality is rather peculiar. I would expect the next generation of frigates to adopt the...

Energy Density Batteries give about 0.5 MJ/kg Diesel gives about 45 Mj/kg. Even at 20% conversion, we're still looking at 10~20 more...

Modern Chinese DDGs like the Type 052D and Type 055 use AESAs, mostly GaN-based. The early batches of the 052D are likely GaA though...

Indeed 131st Air Brigade based at Luliang.

From about the halfway point in this video, Gus makes some interesting observations about J-20 arising from recent close up imagery and...

That AI enhanced image of Z-21 is genuinely cancer. I almost feel like we should make it a rule for SDF that if one posts an AI enhanced...

In the West, barely any new reactors have been built in decades. Research has also been minimal. In China, construction of modern...

Perhaps it's only you who measured the missile booster's diameter to be 0.31 meters? Most measurements I've seen starts at the high-0.3...

The US navy did a report and concluded that nuclear powered cruisers/ destroyers were cost prohibitive. However this report examined...

It's very much likely that the HHQ-9C can only be dual-packed inside the 850mm VLS cell. This video by 水雷屋 on Bilibili explains very...

Jimmy Butler didn’t realize Steph Curry wore Batman JB4; BTS from Li-Ning launch at Nice Kicks in SF

I'm not sure if it can be quadpacked. From measurements by others it should be able to be dual-packed at most, which is still good.
